10 Best Nail Polishes

Shiny!
I don't paint my nails as often as I'd like to for one simple problem. The nail polish chips or wears off at the tips in about two days. That's a very unfortunate problem with this nail polish, because I love the Color Foil colors and I love how metallic this nail polish is. I have a very extensive wardrobe of professional wear, lazy weekend wear, business casual wear and I also have an eccentric ...read moreside where shiny clothes and even gold lame come into play. If I'm wearing something shiny to a specific event, I use Color Foil as an accent to the bling, but I know it will only hold up well for that particular day. If it lasted longer, I would wear it much more often, but there's just too much work involved to keep it up every other day to keep it looking nice. With it being so beautifully metallic, it makes chips and fading areas just that much more visible. However, I have taken it with me to the nail salon when I'm having acrylic nails done, and just like most nail polish in general, it does last on acrylics for the full two weeks until you need a fill. It isn't really expensive, so if a special occasion comes up, where metallic nails would be appropriate, it is inexpensive enough to buy for the said occasion, but don't be disheartened when it acts like all other basic nail polish and starts chipping off in a few days unless you have acrylics. Also, touching this polish up at the tips of the nail is fairly frustrating because after it dries, you can see the line of where the original application was, and where your touch up work is. I'd prefer a gel and would be much happier if Sally Hansen put this out in their Miracle Gel lineup.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
